Small reminder that action works: GDF announced a new price for bedaquiline: $90 per treatment, a 54% reduction since Aug 2023. Thx to @tbfighters.org for joining the fight! Bdq price is now in the target range ($48-102 ) estimated in 2017, and considered wildly unrealistic by naysayers.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve submitted my PhD thesis at LSHTM (@lshtm.bsky.social) with the TB Modelling Group (@lshtm-tbmod.bsky.social)! The past three years have been an incredible journey, and I’m so proud of all that’s been accomplished. Excited to continue working in TB research! #TBSky

Looks like we in the US may have to be even stronger advocates for research into global infectious diseases. Rolling up my metaphorical sleeves. #TBSKy 🧪🦠
